    The film's irony peaks when a Nazi officer writes a poem in Jewish names and says, "This language is too beautiful." The next peak is the ending. The Nazi officers tried to use Jewish names to talk to the Persians to avoid the military court, but the real Persians could not understand a word. The actor, the Nazi officer, performed well. He was eating fish in the cafeteria. He heard his colleagues say that the Persian teacher was in the death row of the Jews. He pretended to be calm but couldn't...

    Contingency is greater than inevitability. It adopts a narrative method of clearing roadblocks like a unit drama, and the difficulty factor is constantly escalating. However, like the soundtrack that Ruyi intends to render, it cannot make the core more full. In the same way, the movie cannot prove that all the deeds that survive after being determined by history are not unique, and that they should form the world together with all the buried and forgotten. Therefore, even if the names of those...

    3.5; very suspenseful advancement and development, once thought of "The Fake Captain", but the weaving of the script still needs to be improved, there are doubts in the textual research of the details implementation, the branch lines are slightly scattered, so there is also a lack of deep reflection. Respect at the end. A virtual "language" kingdom constructed in Jewish names is like a small utopia created by the whole film. These names, which were recorded, deleted, and finally burned, lie in...

    There are only two languages ​​in the world that people know. For officers, it is the love and romance of poetry, and for prisoners, it is the blood and dirge of a whole nation. Using a fictional language to pay homage to the dead Absolutely no...

    Decades have passed, and I really admire that the World War II-themed films can still have new angles. In order to survive, the male protagonist created a new language that only two people in the world can speak, and made a German officer firmly remember the names of 2,840 Jews. They are by no means unknown. The role of an officer is too three-dimensional and too complicated, a typical example of "banality and evil", a young man who pursues himself in peacetime or goes to a remote suburb to...

    He remembered 2,840 names. He did not have the ability of Schindler to save one person, that is, to save the whole world, but he carved epitaphs for 2,840 dead souls with the feat of creating a language. Time is ruthlessly erased, but there are always people who remember their surnames and names, remember those sins and punishments, as long as human beings breathe, they will never...

    The characters are full and three-dimensional. There are two passages that I feel that I didn't make good use of them. One is that the officer finally took Giles out of the concentration camp. When they parted, the two did not further sublimate and split in their lines. I felt that this passage was wasted. The other was Giles' final The recitation of a person's name is at the end of the play and does not kick back a meaningful name such as "bread", "tree" or...

    The two male protagonists are so distressing... In the end, the officer's panic and helplessness when he found out the truth about the fake Persian language, completely collapsed, and when the Jewish male protagonist whispered the more than 2,000 names, all made people cry Broken heartbreak moment. Those more than 2,000 names, words, and that "language" are the faint voices emanating from the most helpless beings in the war. Those outside the camp long for a better life, and those inside the...

    I have written your crimes into a dictionary of the lives of unnamed people at gunpoint. Those ants who bowed under the muzzle and the names who didn't want to take a second glance turned into a persian lesson in the next second. How the slaughtered lives transport people to the other side, and how the lambs on the chopping block do not deserve to be named. The strong contrast constitutes the left-hand heaven and the right-hand hell. What you have tried so hard to find is not a way to escape,...

    Please call 'me' by 'them'

    Almost every year on World War II film about the tragedy of the Jews, and this year is this one - "Bo Si language classes" .

    What is special about this film is that it does not use heavy brushstrokes to write painful history. Although the film also has scenes of massacres, corpses, and black smoke...

    Can't stop thinking about this movie

    It’s been half a month since I started my new job, and my daily film placement practice is adjusted in March. The Persian class is interspersed with such bad films as Tang Tan and Sunshine Hotel, which seems a bit refreshing and abrupt. During the practice, I couldn’t bear it subconsciously. Live...

Persian Lessons quotes

  • Gilles: [about his daily fourty words in 'Farsi'] Inventing them is not a problem but to remember them all, it's impossible. And there will always be more. Many more.

  • Klaus Koch: [Koch took Gilles back after he was put to move to another camp] You would risk your life for those nameless people.

    Gilles: Those aren't nameless. Just because you don't know their names. At least they aren't murderers.

    Klaus Koch: I'm not a murderer.

    Gilles: No. You just make sure that the murderers eat well.
